Neftali Feliz tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his 13th save as the first-place Rangers swept Cleveland in a four-game series for the first time since August 1978.

Mitch Moreland and Elvis Andrus each socked solo homers to provide the Rangers' offense.

The American League Central-leading Indians, meanwhile, lost their sixth straight at home, their longest skid at Progressive Field since 2005.
